General Discussion / Re: Winamp ML import

I'd really need to know what version of winamp you were trying to import from. As the import action I offer (accessed via the empty local library window or by going through media library window -> library button -> import -> import legacy (external) db) just needs to be pointed at an existing winamp settings folder (usually %appdata%\winamp) & as long as it's in the appropriate format then it should work.
I've only really tested the import action with copies of the local library from 5.63 to 5.666 specifically though I was given a set of main.dat/main.idx files last year from newer revision & my local library plug-in was able to import them without issue. If it's from a much older local library instance then it's most likely the layout of the columns might not be in the order that I'm expecting which would then prevent the import from seeing all of the data.
If needed you can message me a copy of the existing main.dat/main.idx from the winamp install you're trying to import so I can then check them out & if needed fix my importer &/or generate an appropriate copy of the library.dat/.idx files wacup uses for you to use with it.
